Everyday Tamil Cinema surprises you by the fascinating new thoughts of
young filmmakers. Here is one that's bound to create history. 'Karma' a
film directed by Arvind Ramalingam has created history by making Kavi
Perarasu Vairamuthu write new 'Kural' and have recorded it in his voice
as well. When asked about it Kavi Perarasu Vairamuthu said 'Karma film
Director Arvind Ramalingam and Music Director L.V.Ganesan met me and
said that they are planning to do the title credits differently, and for
that if they had asked a song wouldn't be surprised but they said they
needed 'Kural' like Thirukkral. I liked the idea. There are 133 chapters
in Thirukkural and there is a chapter called 'Oozhvinai'. I have
written 10 kurals slightly related and slightly not related to
'Oozhvinai'. They have recorded these 10 kurals in my voice. I thank
Arvind Ramalingam and L.VGanesan for the opportunity.

Moreover he
said 'After I wrote and recorded it, now I think that how
Thiruvalluvar would have written Thirukkural for this generation.
Thirukkural was written more than 2000 years ago. Times and lives have
changed a lot since then. Thiruvaluvar is not here, no one is there in
his heights. So I am planning to write 133 Chapters of Thirukkural for
the new generation as how Thiruvalluvar would have written it. If in
future this happens I am proud to say that the credits for the same
would go to Karma film Director Arvind Ramalingam and Music Director
L.V.Ganesan.'

'Karma' is a Tamil film produced by Creative Criminal Productions and Directed by Arvind Ramalingam.
